Cloverfield was wack...

Its funny because i already explained why i like it when Gfletch19 ran out of bullshit excuses and asked. But he co-signs you asking again like he did not see my post. Like rocky said english is his second language because he damn sure can't read. All these people in here telling why they liked it and he still does not see it. You guys just need to be feed information likie babies are fed food.
Only the first & last sentence was directed towards you geckosticky1.
I saw it last night and thought it was GREAT! You can't compare it to typical movies, they intended and achieved something quite different and I enjoyed it. I liked the fact that there was mystery...if someone had really found the video camera that is exactly what they would have seen....not someone to fill in the blanks and explain everything or try to develop characters.....put it into perspective of what it was supposed to be and I think they hit the mark...very clever!
Let me take a stab at your "spots"...
1. Mosnster hit Lower Manhattan first. And though the power did go out for a bit, some parts of the city do have back-up generators for emergencies. Ask anyone who works for Con Ed.
2. Don't know what movie you saw. There were loads of folks running. And some driving. Especially over the Brooklyn Bridge.
3. We did see 3 jets. Then again. we were looking at the film from Hud's camera. So there could have been more. Hell. After 9/11, there were just two F-16's flying up and down Manhattan for a week. And with the type of firepower those shit's have, you just need two or three. But since a giant monster's never invaded New York, we'll have to take the film at its visual word.
4. Love story was wack. But again, it was only ONE point of view.
5. Marlena was the most sympathetic character out of all of them. She was your typical New York "emo-chick". Go to any of these NY yuppie parties, you'll run into at least 3 of them. Hell. I work with a few of them. All those chicks look/act strung out.
6. I thought the Armed Forces would have taken the camera away too. One of them did have a problem with Hud's filming. Then decided not to pursue it. And they did check for injuries in that make-shift trauma center.
7. Look for weapons. Yeah. That would be a typical movie response. But considering this was depicted as REAL, I think running and finding whatever to keep those things off of you would be more realistic. Hud used his camera. And Rob found a fireman's axe.
Keep in mind, this was a fantastic situation within a real world framework. All told through one guy's camera. Worked for me.
After seeing this bullshit I dont know HOW some people are claiming it was some wonderful film. There was NO substance, no plot..shit I still dont even really know what the damn monster looks like.
having seen the movie? I co-sign with this Brother's sentiments...
Shit was briliant as far as I am concerned. Kind of harks back to the original Godzilla movie, in a sense. With Raymond Bur giving commentary while reporting on the actual destruction caused by the monster. The monster here was more of a catalyst for the other activities and so on that were going down. I mean even the intimate setting of that party, and the one girl who was like "I don't really know him...", know hat I mean? See how she fit into the story? What happened to her? It all factored in...

Thats because your ass is blind. Damn people have the dumbest excuses. Did you finish high school or do you need hooked on sight?
Maybe the next Aliens film should shot that way. Maybe from the colonial Marines helmet cam.

Something big drops out of the sky and in to the ocean. Right around when the chick says "I had a good day".
It was a good movie. If you are expecting the typical monster cliche, you wont get it with this movie. There is no explanation, there is no hero, there is no nerdy doctor that understands the creature and knows the only way to defeat it is with "love".
It is a pic showing how people will deal with a situation that is thrown at them that they would never expect. The monster could be a metaphor for a hurrican, tornado, or a tsunami.
Peace.

1. Marlena exploded from being infected.
2. After the end credits, you hear Rob saying "Help Us" after the bomb(s) were dropped. Thus implying that Rob and Beth are barely alive. OH........they play the message backwards and you hear "Its still alive".......So the monster does survive.
It's obvious the monster survives, the was shooting missles and dropping bombs on it, and the thing showed no wounds. It must have the ability to heal itself quickly.
I'am curious to know what Operation:Hammerdown consist of? I doubt they dropped nukes, most likely they must have sent in a shitload of B52, B1, and B2 bombers and carpet bombed Manahatten into it was flat as a pancake.
Peace.

FUCK that Krakkka movie!
They showed everybody as being civilized except us BLACK MEN. We were robbing stealing & looting & the whites were finding things! Like when a disaster strikes the only thing a black men can think about is stealing & robbing!
The black woman were ass kissing krakkka lovers! FUCK THIS Krakkka ass movie & fuck anybody thats like this bullshit!

I thought it was OK,but.....
1. The 1st 15 minutes are not for black people... too much talk about white people's lives.
2. For all those who had a problem with the main actor getting a cell phone battery, I have been in Manhattan for 9/11 and the blackout of 2003.What they taught me is always carry some spare cash on you and always have gas in you car,beacuse when the power goes out there are no ATM's and gas pumps don't work. Also keep your cell phone charged.(You'd be surprised how many people dont have an old fashioned corded phone either).
3. The character Hud should have been a black man to be the voice of NY in a pressure situation. (A black man would have secured a weapon).
4. The movie is 50% monster movie and 50% love story.
5. Go see it, it could never be the same on a TV screen
6. I wonder if any of these movies (I am Legend or Cloverfield) mean anything to people outside of NY? They seem to hit home (no pun intended ) to me.

If that thing can fall from outer space thru earths atmosphere without being destroyed. i doubt any bomb we drop on it will cause it much damage. Most things disintegrate.
Honestly i like the movie, i can understand people being upset. But im just happy to see a movie where white people did not get away scotch free and they finally died. thats more reality base to me.
I like to know more about the monster also, but as i said in another thread this movie isnt about the monster. its more abut people the monster is secondary character.
damn i wanna see that shit
No, he isnt. When a panicked situation goes down, who the fuck has time to think? There is little to no information on who, what, where. So watch tv right? they did and all tv knew, was we dont know what it is and where it came from. Even the army was like we dont know what it is, but we're losing. Remember 911? When the 1st plane hit, we thought it was an accident, then the 2nd one hit, we still had no idea what the fuck was happening til days later. So please with this formula based bullshit, open your mind, dumb niggas. Y'all probably that Independence and its predictable ass, hole filled plot, was the shit.
I thought it was good. The ending wasnt what movie goers are used to seeing. That may be why people are bitching about it. I didnt like how dude had a cape on during the whole movie just to save that chick (but said fuck it my BROTHER is dead Im not looking for his ass).
I thought is was good that it left you with a lot of questions about the monster and how really survived the attack.

The movie was good. It was intense and it was different. The people who didn't like this film prolly didn't like "Blair Witch" either. It's about innovation and doing something outside of the box. The best way to describe the movie is a snapshot view of chaos. Not EVERY movie has to be shot the same way. The reason Pulp Fiction was praised so many years ago because of the unique style in which it was shot (time displacement). People need to get hip....it can't always be the same movie over and over again.
*Now what I did find funny is how a "white boy" would go all the way back and risk his life over a broad he ONLY smashed once. That hoe must have had some platinum pussy in order for me to risk my life.
A brother could have been ready to wife that broad, dated her for 6 years, got pictures of them both together wearing matching "cross color" pull overs and as soon as he saw the Statue of Liberty head in the street, would have left her ass for dead!
You Tellem' dawg, and I hated Blair Witch!

BINGO!
TELL 'EM! But I'm starting to agree with what someone else said, the guy who made this lame post doesn't really "read and respond" he's a retard.

Bullshit. There were white people in the store too. Didn't you see the white guy standing there with the toaster?

Liked the effects.
Liked the execution of the plot.
Liked the look of the monster.
Liked the monster attacks.
Liked the comedy.
Liked the setup.
I honestly don't understand what people were expecting. What randomly videotaped things have actual endings? It's not like the random people running on the street trying to stay alive are going to figure out and disclose the origin of the monster.
Dude said that Hud should have been a black man.
Now if Hud was a black man, you'd be saying "Hud was unrealistic. If he were a real black man he'd leave them crackas alone and run away for his own safety. Also no black man is gonna be recording everything with monsters running about, he won't even save his own wife or love, much less go with a cracka to save his girl"
Point being, you just can't please some people.

Got to go with the yeas on this one, A+!!!!
One the best films I've seen in the last few years. I don't understand the folks complaining about the camera motion making them sick, do ya'll have a undiagnosed medical condition or something?
Anyway, I thought the film was brilliant and had me on the edge my seat the whole time. I didn't expect to be scared, but a few scenes did have me jumping.Those spider like creatures made my skin crawl and the wounds they left were serious. My favorite scene was when Hud and the crew got caught in between the Monster and the US Army fighting in the street. Those cats was blasting away like muhfuka. Rob was a str8 capt. save'm all day for going after that broad like that.A lot of folks could not deal with the lily white 90210 opening act and bailed. I think that was the setup, to lull the audience into thinking this was going to be some bullshit, then BOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!! The action starts. The "black" girl was a little too, shall I say, assimilated for my taste, pass on her. The film needed no real plot it was just a big "What If..." secanrio/documentary of a extremely dangerous and strange situation. Props to the filmakers for making that movie look like a $100 million film on a shoe-string budget. And lastly, the sound effects were absolutely amazing, the team that did them needs to be nominated for an award for real.
One last thing:The creature was an Alien.Good thing I read about the ending before going to see the film, becuase I would've missed that last bit.

Told you the topic creator is fucking dumb.
it was a good movie and could have only happened in NYC. one of the best parts of the movie was watchin NYC get fucked up. and them lice-looking parasite things would have have been a fried delicacy in the south. i liked the movie but the fact that no weapons were effective was kind of annoying! if the damn was roaring when hit that meant it felt pain, if it feels pain it can be hurt, if it can be hurt it can be killed. it would have been better if they killed it, and another one pops up or something. either way as long as they dont make a sequel im cool.
